ADD-ONS

One Extra: Add an additional edited image to your package at the time of booking, for just £15.

Additional retouched images purchased after the shoot are £25 each.

Help me pick: £30 in addition to full package price.

Sometimes it can be hard to be objective when looking at pictures of yourself and therefor, if you would like help whittling down the images in the contact sheets, choose this add-on. I’ll then spend one to two hours looking though the proof images to recommend 10-20 shots in which look your best and/or show off your character range. From there you can make the final selection for editing.

48 hour express editing: £50 in addition to full package price.

With express editing, once you have let me know your choices, your images will be edited and returned to you within 48 hours, rather than the standard 3-5 working days for this package. This only includes the number of edited images the package includes. Additional edited images may take longer.

Beauty Surcharge: £50 per edit

Beauty images often require more detailed skin editing, which can take 1–2 hours longer than the included Standard Retouch. You don’t need to purchase this add-on before your photoshoot, but keep this in mind if you’d like a beauty edit.

Extended Image Storage: £15 in addition to full package price.

All images from your photoshoot are stored for 6 months. If you would like to extend this to 12 months, select ‘Extended Image Storage’ when booking.

What to expect

Before your shoot

Once you’ve paid either the deposit or the full amount, you will receive an email confirming the date/time of your booking, plus details of where to come and tips for preparing for the shoot.

If you are unsure of clothing to bring, bring as many options as possible and we can decide on which to use during the shoot.

If you have an agent, please discuss with them beforehand if they have any specific requirements for your portfolio, such as clothing, background colours etc. I am also happy to discuss this with them directly if you would like to pass on my contact details.

During your shoot

The studio equipment will be set up prior to your arrival with a lighting setup for use during the shoot. After a quick briefing and some test shots to check lighting position and settings, we’ll work through a range of shots to capture your character. The images are displayed on a monitor throughout the shoot so you can be sure you’re happy with the range and style of the images we capture. Usually in this session there is time for 4-6 clothing and/or background options. If you have any background colour preferences, please feel free to get in touch before the shoot.

After your shoot

I endeavour to have your proof images uploaded to a private online gallery within 24 hours of the shoot. This usually contains 90+ images.

Once you have chosen the six images you would like edited, they will be completed and uploaded Dropbox within 7-10 business days (Monday-Friday).

If you have an agent, share the gallery with them for advice on which images to choose.
